SOL Pre-test
Some people believe that the government should come up with the solutions to society’s problems. Although we are a government by the people for the people, therefore the problems we have as a society are actually ours. The community should take control because they have the manpower, the time, and the want for improvement.
The community has the manpower need to help improve and repair the community. People could create jobs by making the need for employees in jobs helping the community like building recreation centers or improving schools or libraries. Students can volunteer and fund raise to help their school and community. The community also knows what is the best for them.
The community has the time to take care of its self. The government has to watch the world. The community could help by making its self more efficient. Students could get community service hours and get bonus in school or rewards for helping the community. People can start fundraisers to help the community.
The community also has the one thing the government does not have. The want for the change. The government job is to take care of a nation and they do their best. That is the reason their there and we the people, society, have put them there. The people want recreation centers to swim and workout. The students complain the schools are bad. The students could raise money or work to improve the things they think are bad in their schools. The community could even make community service projects to help make parks more welcoming.
In the end it is less of the governments job and more of societies job to take care of the community. For the government is nothing without society and society would not exist without government. The people need to work on making communities a better place. Then the government can make it a better country.
